I have been working on a sony vaio laptop (my gf's), which currently has fedora core 2 installed. Let me say first, that fc2 is severely lacking.
Anyone know of a distribution that works good out of the box, has a internet based updating system (like apt or portage), and isn't bloated too much? I have been thinking of using suse (for its config utilities), and have even thought of gentoo (which i'm very familiar with, but think its counterintuitive to install apps from source on a mobile computer). a bsd would also be acceptable as long as it isnt hard to set up (i.e. a laptop meta-package) thanks in advance, mat
